Mr. Jim Gannon:

The updated arrears figures show a lower number of electricity consumers in arrears than previously, while the number of domestic gas consumers has increased significantly. This is of concern to us and we need to look into it more with regard to our protections for those consumers. It is not uncommon for more people to be in arrears after the winter period because that is when gas consumption tends to be the highest. One tends to see that number coming down during the summer. Notwithstanding that, the levels are significant enough that we need to look into them in more detail.
